Aston Villa v Hull City Post Match Thread

[mike]

Automatic gone & play offs gone, here for another season

I’d like to say this is a bit OTT but there is no reason to see our form turning around in what remains of the season. Massively disappointed and Smith can’t be excused all blame.

At this time I like to predict how the in-house interviewer starts his post-match debrief with Smith.

*serious voice*

Dean, a battling performance to come back from 2-0 down, but ultimately another two points dropped at home.  How did you see it?

And how many times will DS start a sentence "yes no"?

[kippaxvilla2]

7 points off the play offs with so called easy games nearly completed.  Going nowhere this season.

[Axl Rose]

Another weekend spoiled.

I see it as an improvement !!

It feels like a defeat due to the performance. That first half was shockingly poor. We huffed and puffed second half but overall it was an extremely disappointing display.

Very much agreed, mate.

We got the equaliser in the 64th minute.

There was no urgency to get a winner in the final 26 minutes. Really really worried about our players and their attitude towards the club.

No positives at all today.

He's Known as Mr Yes No in our house.

Im wondering have we settled for that at management and board level already?

The two signings already made this month certainly dont seem the types to come straight into a team.

Elphick, Steer and Green all back from loans and a bunch of players in the last few months of their contracts still involved in the first team.

Has an end of days feel to it.

Grealish's injury was obviously a huge below but Ive been distinctly unimpressed by Smith since then.

We have completely fallen apart.

[GarTomas]

Smith has a defined way of playing. Unfortunately he doesn't have the personnel to implement it.  He's either got to be given time to reshape the squad or encouraged to try and adapt his style to fit the squad.

The latter is a non starter as we have so many poor players who can't do the basics right.

[TonyD]

Nothing will change until we sign at least two quality defenders and two quality midfielders.  But I’m afraid question do have to be asked about both Smith and Terry.  Something stinks about the place again. 

[Dazvillain]

Although we don’t like it and don’t want to admit it but with the prima Donna big earners going at end of season and loans , if not some in rest of this month, it’s not going to get better for a long long while .
Can’t afford big earners, lot more dead wood needs to go, there’s little chance we’ll be using high paid loanees .
We’ll end up with squad similar to DS used to like Brentford come this time next year and it’ll be up to him to coach and get results.
While all that change going on and another 3 prem teams get relegated with parachute payments plus those already in championship still with parachutes spending bigger than us being around, there’s an awful lot of rebuilding to do.
I’ve been frustrated with DS the last few weeks thinking if it was Bruce, we’d be throwing more than savoys by now and he’s going the same way, but we’ve got nothing more than we got at the moment .
Pointless slagging current regime at mo we just got to buckle in and enjoy the next 2 or 3 years ride best we can

Edit...oh and btw if Steer or Nyland had played today they would have saved the first goal quite easily . We would have then won the game with a very mediocre performance like most other mid table teams do

Can we send bolaise back now

If he is on 70k a week , what a balls up that is.

I think we have, see this season out then build again. Really unhappy about today, we start so slowly

[clash city rocker]

Take a poor field with poor soil that has been neglected for years and no matter what quick fix chemicals or nutrients you put into the soil no crops will really flourish.  The field will take a few years of good management with the right nutrients and compost before any decent crops will grow. That is where Aston Villa is at today.

Same old Villa

There is a reason clubs are willing to sell/loan these players payed this much. They are not good enough.

Bring in hungry young players on 15k a month not these donkeys.

7k a week would be too much.

Pity about first 40 mins when we were shocking and only 2-0’down
